I understand what you are saying ,however drywall compound shrinks and the joint between the patch and the wall may loosen during drying process+++Bob Shrinking behind paper surface would actually pull paper tighter to surface.

Bigpappa has a good suggestion. While the repair in this video is good, it would be a pretty noticeable repair due to the doubled up layers of paper between the patch and the wall. I prefer to hold my patch against the wall in its final position, then scribe with a knife completely through the patch paper and the paper on the wall. Afterwards, remove the paper from the wall and the patch paper will fit perfectly inside it. This is the only way to make the patch completely unnoticeable.

also, make sure to put a stopper on the wall by the floor so it doesn’t happen again!

like the idea but this way is to much time, if you go to home depot get 5 mins, smooth set and a roll of fiber glass mesh tape and in 45 mins. you are ready, you just have to do similar steps, (exept. the drywall and the 24 hrs time) ha ha ha

One more improvement over last idea.
Instead of ripping off patch paper. You instead
trace your patch paper on the wall it will fill.
Scribe the wall paper (wall that will be patched) and pull the paper off that. Then apply mud and put patch in straight flush with paper surface tension integrity greatly increased. Nit picky I know, but hey why not try for a Un-detectable patch?

Ahhh, I really like this technique!!!! HOWEVER what if, you
1) Made your patch.
2) Did your initial application.
Then instead of muding over the patch paper, you instead, rip off the top paper leaving the patch square and apply more mud to fill cracks. Then since there is no patch paper (as thin as it is) feathering not needing, only fine surface sanding.. Critics with a fine eye would never see the smallest bulge because there is not one.

A building supply store should have large sheets of drywall. If you have a textured wall, I would suggest you do a search for “how to do a knockdown patch”

Excellent way to patch holes ! I have used this method hundred’s of times.

The hole that I have in my wall is 15x bigger than that hole. Where do I get peice of drywall that big to fix my wall? If I were to follow these directions from this video, wouldn’t it look obvious that the whole was there because I have little bumps on my wall rather than a smoothe surface

Thanks for a well-designed video.

Thank you so much for the idea! I just moved into a new house where the previous owner had “repaired” a couple of holes from what looked like a towel rod being ripped out of the wall by smearing copious amounts of spackle in the holes. With your help, my repair will look much better. Thanks!

that was a brilliant idea. thanks for sharing.

i have a big problem, i decided to punch the wall next to a stud D: what can i do :o?
#22 by yakamon123 on February 20, 2010 - 1:16 am
I punched a hole in the drywall and the piece that I punched in remains inside the wall. It is still however fairly intact, do I discard this piece or will it be useful as a “scrap” piece of drywood? And if so, is there a need for a patch at all?
#23 by thezeta on February 20, 2010 - 1:17 am
They sell a spray for that. I bought one at Home Depot. Use it, wait 2-3 minutes before it dries then use the putty knife to smear it in patterns.
